[Affective psychosis and month of birth (author's transl)].

Based on in parts extensive studies it is repeatedly indicated that patients with affective psychosis differ from the normal average population as to their month of birth. However, our studies concerning N = 6384 in-patients with affective psychosis demonstrate that they do not differ from the normal population in respect to their month of birth. Likewise the frequencies of male births agree vastly with those of female ones.

[Weather and disease].

About one third of our population is weather-sensitive. The specific symptoms depend from age, sex, health state and social class. A great number of meteorotropic diseases are either caused or intensified by certain meteorological events. The same is true for both alterations of common fitness and physiological parameters. The most important correlation-statistical results from different meteorological study-groups of the past decennials are summarized. By means of these tabularies the physician is able to recognize weather-dependent diseases. The telephone-service of the Deutschen Wetterdienst (bioprog) keeps him informed of the actual weather-situation. Taking advantage of these possibilities every physician can give prophylactic medicare.

[Suicide and the weather. Risk of suicide in mental disorders and possibilities for prevention].

The risk of suicid in psychic disorders and possibilities of suicid prophylaxis The mysterious connection between weather and suicidal acts has been of particular interest at all times. In the past years extensive studies were carried out. But often the results were differing from each other. Nowadays, every person, committing suicid is regarded as psychically disturbed. Therefore, it may be better to analyse the diagnoses retrospectively and to determine which type of psychiatric illness is reacting significantly to which meteorological event. The results of this study using the "coincidence method" (n = 17 268) make it possible to give exact clues, which meteorological event may be dangerous to which kind of psychiatric illness. The time before a change of weather is of importance. The daily medical-meteorological telephone-service in the Federal Republic of Germany (bioprog) is therefore a biometeorological contribution to the prophylaxis of suicides.
